The Mustard Seed Foundation

This Christian family foundation was established in 1983. It provides grants to churches and Christian organizations worldwide that are engaged in ministry including outreach, discipleship, and economic empowerment. The Foundationís church-based grants provide seed funding for small start-up projects of churches and Christian organizations around the world. The Foundation seeks to help launch projects as a minority partner, providing funds over a limited time period and in a way that encourages self-sufficiency and reliance on the local church. It typically funds projects that share the gospel with non-Christians (outreach); generate income and economic decision-making opportunities to poorer Christians (empowerment); or equip Christians to better proclaim and demonstrate the gospel (discipleship). All of the Foundation directors are committed followers of Jesus Christ. The Foundation affirms the Lausanne Covenant as its mission commitment to the world.
